Vicki, how long do you have this one?

can we kick it into next month??

[Vicki]

I own it. Let me see if I can find another book for the challenge that ends this month.

[Vicki]

Okay, I found a prequel to read so it's a lot shorter...feels like cheating. LOL

When shall we reschedule?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh, if you want to keep this for this month, can we just move it??

maybe to when i get back from vacation.....how's 7/28? or 7/26?

[Vicki]

I already found something else so I'm okay to move it.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh okay

throw a date out at me that works for you :)

[Vicki]

Aug. 8 or 15?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

8th it is!!

[Vicki]

Perfect! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

through the first 10 chapters

and so far it's kind of....boring.

Jess/Jessep(view spoiler)[ he's cute but they are so young that....just meh. (hide spoiler)]

Alex(view spoiler)[ I think her life has been really rough to start but I'm just sure there is a better use of 10 chapters than having me read about her being 8..... (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 more chapters and it's getting kind of more interesting

Jess(view spoiler)[ how can he be that oblivious? (hide spoiler)]

Ashley(view spoiler)[ clearly, she sucks. who tells their friends who they can date? (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Awe, I don't know if I want to tell you this, but I love it so far. LOL

Finished 10 Ch.

Alex and Jess (view spoiler)[are adorable. I love their innocent play and the way they talk to each other. I feel almost like I'm there in nature with them. I know they are young, but I feel them! (hide spoiler)]

I feel awful for (view spoiler)[Alex and her father. Poor guy having a sick wife and losing all that he's lost! Ugh...Alex is incredibly smart and mature for her age. I understand why she finally started wishing her mother dead. (hide spoiler)]

Dr. Mason (view spoiler)[ is a good man. How many doctors would notice and then CARE about Alex and her father's plight. (hide spoiler)]

I love to see Jess and Alex (view spoiler)[grow their relationship from such a young age. I hope they become more later on but not at 9! (hide spoiler)] LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

LOL I Love that you love it!! :)

[Vicki]

Finished Ch. 20 last night but too tired to post. LOL

OMG! Ashley has got to (view spoiler)[GO! I don't like violence but this is a book, so I am GLAD that Alex decked her and broke her nose! LOL Ashley is one MEAN-SPIRITED girl!! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished Ch. 30

I like reading about their (view spoiler)[college days and their struggle still to decide just what their relationship should be. But Alex needs to stop thinking she owes the Masons her entire life!!! (hide spoiler)]

Sadie (view spoiler)[will be a good friend to Alex, I think. So far I really like her. (hide spoiler)]

I forgot to add that (view spoiler)[Dutch is a PIG!!! I am SO sad for how she was used and that she did drugs and her first sexual experience was not out of love and put on the internet. He is disgusting! (hide spoiler)]
